What is Pulmonary Embolism: Hospital Insights about?
Pulmonary embolism is a common condition caused by blood clots in the lungs. It has a high mortality rate if left untreated. Risk factors include immobility, surgery, cancer, and inherited blood clotting disorders. Symptoms can include shortness of breath, chest pain, and circulatory collapse. Diagnosis involves assessing risk factors, symptoms, and tests such as D-dimer and CT scans. Standard treatment is low molecular weight heparin followed by long-term warfarin.
